The Advice Toke Makinwa Gave Someone Blaming Herself For Not Receiving The Kind Of Love She Gave

A picture post about a man leaving a long time relationship for another relationship and doing everything his ex has always wanted him to for the new lady without any hassles started a conversation online and media personality, Toke Makinwa shared her thoughts.

This!!!! I saw this and screamed amen so loud same thing I was telling someone yesterday. It has nothing to do with you, stop blaming yourself for not receiving the kind of love you gave out, sometimes these things don’t work because they just aren’t meant to be and that’s ok.

People don’t change for who they want, people change when the time is right and quite frankly growth happens when you let it. That “bastard” is someone’s future husband and guess what? She’s not going to see that side of him. Not excusing bad behavior but as I grow and learn, I realize this thing called love cannot be forced.

Love yourself enough to swallow that jagged little pill called truth and walk away with your head high. You’ll meet your own king and you won’t need to beg or force him to treat you right. Ladies this one is for you.
